I just compiled a big list from the past few days, typed it in Excel and printed it. I found it a lot more uncomfortable than I thought walking round Tesco with an A4 piece of paper with a list of items and prices and bottled it after looking for a few things on my list.

When you look for R&Rs do you normally have a big list of things or do you memorise them, or maybe write them down on a scrap of paper? I'd probably feel better if it looked a bit more like a shopping list rather than my A4 print out.

Also, I'd feel very embarassed going up to CS with an entire trolley of R&Rs for a refund. I'd feel less embarassed if half of my trolley was genuine but I don't usually do the house shopping. How does everyone else feel about this? Do you try to pretend you're not a deliberate R&Rer or do you not care what CS think of you?

Personally, I make several small lists by section, so that they fit onto smaller 'shopping list' size pieces of paper. Just move from one to the next as you move around the store. To be honest, though, it's a back up and I don't carry it around openly, just refer to it now and again. The more you look for misprices, the more you remember to look for.

I always feel happier going to CS with 2 or 3 of one item (1 if expensive) rather than several different misprices, so tend to look around the store to find the one I'm most interested in and go for that. I now shop most days, usually 10-20 items at a time to maximise the opportunities.

Yes, you should get an exchange or an item of the equivelant value at time of purchase - the R&R makes no difference.

although i am sure you are aware that when you use a phone every day you will need to charge the battery!!:p

Thanks for the info, i don't use it that often, it was charged overnight on friday, i sent 2 text messages yesterday and a quick call and the battery was dead this morning, this has been happening all week, usually it only needs charging about every third day, i will take it back and see what they say.

Just make sure you are armed with all the info you need though first. As someone on here did take a Xbox360 back after being faulty and did manage to get a brand new one.

That was me and there was a bit of a hoo haa i just quoted stat rights and explained that i had paid for the product and expected it to work, the refund was not for the product but for there error in the overcharge

If you are leaving the phone turned on all the time, the battery life can be affected by where it is stored. If its somewhere it cant get a good signal (enclosed in metal drawer or similar) then it will boost up its power level to keep searching out the phone cells, and thereby use more battery power than if it was just turned on and sat on a table in the open or something.
